The Peters World Map shows countries in proportion to their relative sizes. It is based upon the German historian Arno Peters'' decimal grid which divides the surface of the earth into 100 longitudinal fields of equal width and 100 latitudinal fields of equal height, a helpful corrective to the distortions of traditional maps. While the Peters'' World Map is superior in its portrayal of proportions and sizes, its importance goes far beyond questions of cartographic accuracy. no less than our world view is at stake. This map helps us all to look at the world in a different way, showing the countries of the world in their real, relative sizes and has been updated to take account of upheavals in Europe and Asia following the end of the Cold War, the falling of the U. S. S. R and the break-up of Yugoslavia. Review: Excellent - If you want to know what the actual world looks like, this is it. I wish this was bigger but every home and school should have this accurate scale map. Review: Incredible - Perfect. 54cm x 84cm

Finally, a map where the equator is in the centre.
I have a 2m x1m standard map of the world from a different seller, and it's great. I really wish they made this geographically correct Peter's Projection map in a similar size. I'd frame and hang it like a piece of art. *This* map should be the standard map. I never understood why the equator wasn't in the middle of commonly used maps. This map tells the truth.

Prompt delivery, and a fascinating new perspective on the world
The map arrived soon after ordering. The map is important, because the area-equivalent projection of countries provides a fascinating new perspective on the size and importance of different regions around the world.
